Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. J. E. Corley
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed, or raise his head; everybody said
he was dying of Consumption. A trial
bottle Of DIR. Kings New Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he bought
large bottle and a box of DIR. Kings
New Life Pills; by the time he had
taken two boxes of Pills and two bot
ties of the Discovery, he was well and
had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.

RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.
The revenues so far this month
amount to over S32 600, 900, an average
of more than 81 zoo, 900 a day. The ex-
penditures during the same time, in
Guiding Sl1 500, 900 paid for pensions,
amount to about $25, 500, GOO, leaving an
excess of receipts of 81, 500, 900. The
expenses SO far this month have been
less than was anticipated by
reason of the failure of the
Navy Department to make GER
tain expected acquisitions. AT the same
time the receipts were greater than was
estimated July LIST. Treasurer Hyatt
reports the surplus to-day as S45, lOO,0 COO
an increase of nearly 100000 since
the same date of last month. Treasury
officials however, believe that heavy
payments to be made next month will
again reduce the surplus to about S37,-
00O, 600 by the lst of September.
DULL TIMES FOR CLEVELAND.
For the first time during the present
week there was no business at the
White House to-day which made it
necessary for the President to come
into the city. Therefore he spent the
entire day at his country home, Oak
View, where the temperature is said
to be at least 10 degrees lower than at
the White House, and where he is able
to endure the present hot spell with de-
cidedly more comfort than is possible
at his official residence. The
President will remain at Oak View
pretty much all the time until he leaves
the capital for his Southern and West
ern trip in October. He may come
into the city once or twice a week to
attend Cabinet meetings, but it is not
believed that these meetings will be
continued with regularity during the
summer.
on pAIrT-NrnrNEAPoIJsw WANT HIM
kilograms were received at the
White House to-day saying that COM
mittees of citizens of st. Paul and
Minneapolis had been appointed to
proceed to Washinton to invite the
President to visit these cities on his
| trip. They will be submitted to him
this evening, and it is more than prob
able that he will request that the COM
mittees abandon their proposed trip to
Washington and that instead the in
vitations be mailed TO him. 1t is, how
ever, regarded as settled that the cities
named will be included in his western
trip.
The attention of our readers is called
to the advertisement of DIR. Robert
Lyon in another column, who has prac-
ticed medicine with the greatest sue
cess for over forty years. His reputa-
ton for curing comp lieetedand chronic
diseases has made him famous among
members of the profession, having re-
lieved thousands where other eminent
| physicians haV allied. Those suffer
| ing who believe in the old adage ''prac-
tice makes the man" should not fail to
consult him ana obtain relief. His
rooms are on the ground floor at the
Hotel Coolidge.

TOPEKA, July N.-There was quite a
little excitement this afternoon among
the patrons Of the bucket shop, now
situated where the Western Union Of
fee formerly was. Several of the boys
who had been dealing in margins weIe
to use base ball expression, playing
in great luck" Yesterday afternoon,
things changed. This of itself
would have caused no grumbling,
although a number lost heavily
What worried the boys and caused no
little complaint was the extreme care
leSsneSS allowed in monkeying with the
telegraph quotations yesterday. All
the kilograms in favor OF the house
were footed on the boards while the
unfavorable ones were never given to
the public. By this deceptive move
ment several purchasers were compelled
to sell at q loss. Tom McGrath lost
about $500, while q number of others
lost small sums. The party who worked
this mischief goes by the name OF
King, and came here from st. Louis.

GIVE US SUNSHINE.

Speaking of the old Puritan Sab bath, as it was observed In hIs younger days, Oliver Wendell Holmes says "l have never got over the saddening effects of this carly discipline; indeed, have hardly recovered from it Ia this lay.n If the stern old Puritan Sabbath, with its sub,iuinR, N,dirning effects, wrought out such joyous ma lures as lIeechcr's, and gave to tho world such beautiful blending of tenderness and strength, laughter and tcars, heart-dcep pathos and sunny humor as Oliver Wendell Holmes, let Us have another century of Puritan Sabbath. - B0b Burdcffe.
 Oh, no, Robert, we do not want any more Puritan Sundays. Mir. Beecher, a short time before his death, ex- pressed deep regret that his early lie had been made SO gloomy by the op- pressive Sabbath" The cold water of fanatical rebuke WAS thrown upon his sunny nature. Sunday was SO dark and cold that its gloom and chillincss permeated the entire week. There K no religion, Robert, in that system of church ethics which crushcs the glad ness in n child's heart, which teaches that to groan in assumed anguish is the worship which God demands. Great and sunny hearted men arose from the darkness of those Puritan days, and each one of them looked back with shudder upon the time when their souls lay in a prison, when their hearts beat against the iron bars of oppressive and bigoted ignorance. Those men became great and sunny in spite of those awful "Sabbaths," and not by aid of them. Give us the Sun day of the south. Happy children stroll along the banks of beautiful stream; the glccful dogs bark and scampcr; happy people sing glad songs in the old log church the ne- grocs hugh in voices of deep music as they "projic" with each other and an old and happy man dozes under the shade of fa walnut tree. Everything k br!ght-eyery face wears smile. The brown bird In the locust tree sings, "joy, joy, joy" and the blue kird in the honeysuckle replies, "glce, glee, glee," while the old crow sits on the top os the oak tree near the barn and cries, "rest, rest, rest"

 "Comc, git out now, boys. Thar's another house about two miles from here. You won't find no rtd- headed gal thar, but you'll find ono n tho whitcst hosScs you ever seed.

AN AMPLE APOLOGY.

A country paper in Missouri, in apologizing for the absence of its tenn peraRe column, says: It was our in- tention to have full temperance col umn this week, but we have been dis. appointed. Some time ago we engaged Colonel McFetterage to do this work, and we iattsr ourselves that he made his department fairly sing with life, and let us remark here that every thing about this paper hums a lively tune. At times 1t may have seemed that the colonel was little too radical in his views and somewhat too vigorous in bis expression, but we feel that all fair minded men will overlook these faults, if they be faults. When he de- clared that all manufacturers of whisky were thieves and that all whisky sellers were ut-throats, he may have been little too pungent,

PRICE, 5 CENTS.

still we think that all unbiased men will, after giving tho subject due con sldention, agre with hIm As wa stated above it was our intention to give full column this week. with few extra strong pointers ot which we have become possessed hut the truth k, the colonel Is too drunk this week tn ln the matter justice. Therc's no use in talking, a man can get so drunk that while his views may remain good. his style becomes involved Now. In our own individual case, we may be moro brilliant and corruscating when drunk. yet brightness at such tima is apt to snatch up our judgment and run away with It. We deeply regret the coloncl's indisposition this week. but we promise that he shall make his department doubly Interesting whom he gets sober. If he should not be so- Der in time next week we will got old Uncle Hob May field to All the column with somo of his interesting yarns. The old fellow, It is well remembered. was for many years mate on n Mis- sissippi river steamboat, during tho days when you could buy tho best quality Of whisky for twenty cents per gallon, and it can safely te said that he has seen as much fun as any man In our community. IL is to bo hoped, however, that tho colonel will be sober enough to resume his impor- tant duties. Hereafter, If our patrons will give us sufficient encouragement, we will give two columns of temper ancc matter instead of one. We arc much interested in the great cause and earnestly hope to sec IL flourish
 Later We have just received the in- formation that the colonel will not bc able to do anything for our nent issue. Look out for Uncle Bob's yarns"
